Answer:

Explanation:

British raj, period of direct British rule over the Indian subcontinent from 1858 until the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947. The raj succeeded management of the subcontinent by the British East India Company, after general distrust and dissatisfaction with company leadership resulted in a widespread mutiny of sepoy troops in 1857, causing the British to reconsider the structure of governance in India. The British government took possession of the company’s assets and imposed direct rule. The raj was intended to increase Indian participation in governance, but the powerlessness of Indians to determine their own future without the consent of the British led to an increasingly adamant national independence movement.

Background

Though trade with India had been highly valued by Europeans since ancient times, the long route between them was subject to many potential obstacles and obfuscations from middlemen, making trade unsafe, unreliable, and expensive. This was especially true after the collapse of the Mongol empire and the rise of the Ottoman Empire all but blocked the ancient Silk Road. As Europeans, led by the Portuguese, began to explore maritime navigation routes to bypass middlemen, the distance of the venture required merchants to set up fortified posts.

Germany’s invasion of which country started World War II?
Great Britain
the Soviet Union
France
Poland

Answers

Answer:

Soviet Union started world war ||

Germany's invasion of Poland started World War II. The correct option is 4.

The invasion of Poland by Germany in September 1939 signalled the start of World War II. Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany launched a concerted attack on Poland from numerous fronts, fueled by aggressive expansionist goals.

The German military used superior tactics and tremendous weapons to launch a fast and deadly invasion.

The attack on Poland broke international accords and sparked a chain reaction of war declarations from other nations, notably France and the United Kingdom.

The invasion of Poland highlighted Germany's ambition to invade and rule neighbouring states, eventually leading to a worldwide struggle that consumed most of the world and resulted in massive devastation, loss of life, and long-term geopolitical ramifications.

Thus, the correct option is 4.

Why did Britain join the war

Answers

I don't know which war your talking about so i'm going to add all of them (Most)

1. Great Britain entered World War I on 4 August 1914 when the King declared war after the expiration of an ultimatum to Germany. The official explanation focused on protecting Belgium as a neutral country; the main reason, however, was to prevent a French defeat that would have left Germany in control of Western Europe.

2. The military history of the United Kingdom in World War II covers the Second World War against the Axis powers, starting on 3 September 1939 when Britain and France, followed by Britain's Dominions and Crown colonies, declared war on Nazi Germany in response to the invasion of Poland by Germany.

3. WW3 Belgium's ports were close to the British coast and German control of Belgium would have been seen as a serious threat to Britain. In the end, Britain refused to ignore the events of 4 August 1914, when Germany attacked France through Belgium. Within hours, Britain declared war on Germany.

I added ww1, ww2, and ww3 Because I don't know which one you needed so yea. Might be much but yea.

Answers

Answer:

Because of ww11 women had more job ooprutunities.They could become a bttle field nurse working in the battles treating soldiers.

Explanation:

In many ways, the story of women’s employment during WWI was repeated during WWII. Despite their success in wartime industries during WWI, similar stereotypes about women’s capacity and ability to engage in ‘men’s work’ were circulated by the employers and the government. Trade unions again expressed concerns about men’s pay being pushed down and sought assurances that women’s wartime work would only be temporary. However, the needs of the  wartime economy won again. In December 1941, the government conscripted single women aged 20-30 as auxiliaries to the Armed Forces, Civil Defence, or war industries. Propaganda leaflets urged women to participate in the war effort.

two similarities between the dictatorships of the USSR and Italy.

Answers

Answer:

There were similarities between Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini. One similarity is that both leaders were dictators who had total control of the government, and both men used propaganda to spread their ideas. Mussolini, on the one hand, used propaganda to restore the Italian sense of nationalism. He promised to return Italy to the glory days of the Roman Empire. He also promised to give the Italian people many things, such as social security, jobs, and the protection of private property. Mussolini also used violent propaganda to take away the rights of the people, including freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Stalin, then, also used propaganda to control the people of the Soviet Union. Stalin used the arts as a way to get people to like him by showing him in positive and in flattering ways. Cities were renamed to honor him, and history books gave him a greater role in the Russian Revolution. In both countries, speaking out against the government or against the government leaders was met with harsh consequences. Secret police existed in both countries to help keep the people under control and to squash any opposition to the government.
